Hah, may look like a trick question, I thought maybe all formats from the same artist maybe even same mastertape, for comparison og the different :)
8-track I can remember from vintage cars in my childhood,
 
I think it's safe to say that no single album has been made available on all of the formats you mentioned during their original period of release. To the best of my knowledge, very few pre-recorded releases were made in the MiniDisc, DCC and (especially) DAT formats. By that point, major labels had long since stopped releasing prerecorded 8-tracks or (especially) reel-to-reel, though there may have been specialty labels rereleasing certain albums in those formats. If you expand your criteria to include all releases by a particular artist, a long-running group such as Genesis or Pink Floyd may meet the requirements, though again, it's hard to say when it comes to the more obscure formats you listed.

I think a comparison of the original sound will be impossible given all the varying labels, remastering, etc.
 
Neil Young I believe meets your criteria that is if op wants an artist that has been recorded on all these formats.

No DCC, a few Columbia House 3 3/4 IPS, 1/4 track open reels of poor quality on Boston and Thriller. MD may have been available on Boston and Thriller. Saturday Night Fever was LP, CD, cassette, and 8 track cartridges only on the soundtrack LP. The movie was available on VHS. Beta and DVD.

No titles were available on every one of those formats. A few did make it to many formats. Very few pre-recorded DAT, DCC, and MD titles were ever released. And no titles were available on both DCC and MD, as both were rival formats.

Examples of titles which made it on most every analog format:

West Side Story (Mono LP, Stereo LP, 1/2 and 1/4 track open reel, 8 track cartridge tape, cassette, compact disc)
Camelot (Same formats)
The Doors (Mono LP, Stereo LP, 1/4 track open reel, 4 track cartridge tape, 8 track cartridge tape, cassette tape, compact disc)
Simon & Garfunkel studio LP discs, Bridge Over Troubled Water for example was available on Stereo LP, SQ Quad LP, Quad 8 Track tape, cassette tape, 8 track tape. 1/4 track open reel, as known formats.

Ah, I see that Kent caught and corrected the 8-track omission.
